This hobnail, milk glass cake stand features a decorative pedestal base and a scalloped edge.
The popularity of milk glass in the 1950s and ‘60s was at least in part a revival of the earlier pattern glass, with some companies even using the old molds of popular patterns. Fenton and Westmoreland were the leading manufacturers of milk glass, both creating an opaque, snowy white glass. Though each cake stand was made in a mold there was a certain amount of hand finishing, which leads to minor variations.Location
